Detailed Solution

According to the statement in the question, a rubber cord's length changes to l1 when the tension is 4 N and to l2 when the tension is 5 N. When the tension reaches 9N, we are asked to determine the length of the same cord.

The Young's modulus for a wire's longitudinal extension is provided by the formula Y=FLAL

For the tension of 4N,

Y=4×LA(l1-L)__________(1)

for the tension 5N,

Y=5×LA(l2-L)__________(2)

for the tension 9N,

Y=9×LA(l3-L)__________(3)

combining equations 1 and 2

9×LA(l3-L)=4×LA(l1-L)

9(l1-L)=4(l3-L)

4l3+5L=9l1

multiplying both sides by 4,

16l3+20L=36l1_________(4)

similarly combining equations 2 and 3

9×LA(l3-L)=5×LA(l2-L)

9(l2-L)=5(l3-L)

5l3+4L=9l2

multiplying both sides by 5

25l3+20L=45l2_________(5)

subtracting equation 4 from 5,

9l3=45l2-36l1

l3=459l2-369l1

l3=5l2-4l1

Hence the correct answer is 5l2-4l1.
